Наиболее эффективное использование С++. 35 новых рекомендаций по улучшению ваших программ и проектов

From the Author

Both my books (and more) in one revolutionary package. As the author of Effective C++ and More Effective C++, I've had access to electronic versions of both books since, well, since I wrote them. I've wanted to give you on-line access to them for years, but it wasn't really practical until HTML and JavaScript, etc., emerged as electronic publishing standards. On this CD, I've exploited those standards like they've never been exploited before.

The CD includes capabilities that are, as far as I know, unprecedented. These include (1) Dynamic user control over the size of images, navigation bars, and HTML files. You configure things *your* way. (2) The ability to bookmark and/or link to *any paragraph* on the CD. You can now set a bookmark that takes you *exactly* where you want to go. Among other things, this is useful for linking your coding guidelines to the technical discussions in my books that back you up. (3) The results of full-text searches link to specific *paragraphs* containing hits, not just to specific documents. No more 'double searching', once to find the document, once again to find the correct place in the document. (I hate that.) (4) Links from the CD to the Internet go indirect via an on-line lookup table, so links on the CD remain valid even when Internet URLs change. (I also hate broken links.) Of course, the CD includes features you should be able to take for granted in an electronic publication, e.g., color images and diagrams, lots of links (there are thousands, and I specified every last one of them), the ability to legally copy the material to a hard drive for faster and more convenient access, etc. If you're familiar with my books, you know I have definite opinions and I'm not afraid to voice them. I voiced them repeatedly during the design and implementation of this CD, and it shows. This isn't just an 'Effective C++' CD, it's an *effective* CD. I spent more time and energy on this project than I did in writing *both* editions of Effective C++. I honestly think you'll find the CD to be informative and useful for years to come. If you don't, I know you'll let me hear about it :-)

Scott Meyers (smeyers@aristeia.com), the author, February 4, 1999.

Scott Meyers has done it again, expanding on his indispensable classic Effective C++ with 50 new ways to improve programs and designs to make them more consistent, more efficient, more portable, in short, just plain better.Join Meyers for his in-the-know discussions of advanced C++ techniques likesmart pointers, in-class constant initializations, namespaces, and member templates, or examine your own program efficiency with the help of Meyers' critical analysis of the costs of usingC++. Every guideline in the book has been reworked, supporting C++'s Draft International Standard (current compiler technology). Take another look at standard C++ library (which has changed over a period, as Meyers points out), and find out how string and vector affect the structure of the programs.If your C++ compiler doesn't support new features like bool and theStandard Template Library, Meyers can get you over your design hump bydemonstrating how to get the job done regardless. This pragmatic advicesource is as essential to a C++ library as Meyers' previous book, and isjust as useful for any experienced programmer not content to produce merelyadequate programs.

This definitive guide to C++ has been updated to reflect the latest ANSI/ISO standard. With more than 50,000 copies sold, the first edition has helped thousands of developers improve their C++ programming skills. Continuing in this tradition, Meyers has reworked every item in the book and has liberally placed cross-references throughout the text.
